Re: 2017 David Robertson Performance thread

I've been advocating for his return since early June when the blown saves started happening. I believe his acquisition solves the problem. I'd love to see Girardi stay away from blindly assigning roles now. He has enough options to really pay attention to matchups, game situations, and batting orders.

"Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle

So we're supposed to just accept the status quo because most managers aren't progressive thinkers. That's what you've resorted to when defending Girardi, so I've had enough of this argument if that's what you're going to do.

Props to Joe though for actually bringing D-Rob in during the 5th inning the other night. It's something that seems to go against what Girardi usually does, which was a nice change. Hopefully things like this happen more often.

All I'm asking is that you provide an alternative, someone who does the things that Joe doesn't do. Francona isn't a realistic alternative.
